It fails for a reason hacking the test is probably not the best solution (IMHO).
I think many of us found that simply passing ./configure LIBS='-lnsl -lsocket' Solved the PCAP_OPEN_LIVE problems. I've been using this config line. ./configure LIBS='-lnsl -lsocket -lcrypt -liconv' For Solaris 8 (and 9). the -liconv was not needed on Ntop_2.2 + patches (Solaris 8) but was needed with Ntop_2.2c so just get used to using it. This assumes you have your LD_LIBRARY_PATH set correctly (or crle if you use that). Also assumes a lot of GNU software is installed. PS searching the Ntop list is easy with http://search.gmane.org/ ...
